Unless of course they don't name him in that and keep it vague for the sake of promotion. :/
I'm hoping we can get that one that has the little Morgana figure in it. I need it. :3
Very unlikely, unfortunately. It's advertised as a Famitsu DX Pack exclusive, and I can't recall a time where those have been available through other means.
Is that retailer specific or something?

Was thinking the same, it's pretty likely.
Hopefully West gets nice collector's edition too, already pre-ordered the JP Anniversary Edition.
I guess I shouldn't have too much expectations for dual audio but checking out Twitter seems to be lots of people requesting for it so here's hoping we get full AAA-treatment with dual audio.
Famitsu DX Packs are limited editions of games exclusively distributed in conjunction with Famitsu. Items from those collectors editions are usually not made available separately in any other capacity post-release, and this extends to exclusive DLC colors in something like Persona 4 Arena.
I think it's unlikely. Since the anime episode will mainly revolve around a heist, he'll most likely be called Joker the whole way through.

I don't think there's any site there that will charge immediately once an order is placed, however you'll have to look into differing policies to determine if you can even cancel a pre-order once it's placed.

That's a possibility too, guess we'll see in September.
Hopefully the anime gets released here too before the game comes.
As far as I know audio CD's are not region locked. Japanese Bloodborne The Old Hunters OST was region free.
Mobile Suit Gooch
Grundle: The Awakening
I've already said mine.
Nice! I assume the only thing that would be region restricted is the DLC.

And even that you can download with JP PSN account, and then use it on your primary account when you play the game if you set your PS4 as Primary.

I was originally going to go with Yasushi Atsuhiro, but this was back before we knew about all the thief stuff, now the name Yasushi (meaning calm and quiet) doesnt fit.
Keeping Atsuhiro since that means escape or break free. But think I might make the first name Noritaka, just for a sense of irony since that means 'respect for the law'.

Might just call him ryotaro dojima. Make it a fake prequel.
Hmm I should probably do the same, I've listened to it every day so far haha

Nah. We're likely going to get the Anniversary Edition.

When does Famitsu/Dengeki usually release? Trying to guess when we can expect leaks.
Tomorrow.
Edit: Sorry, Famitsu leaks tend to pop up sometime during the day on Tuesdays, if you're in North America.

I thought it was Thursday? Anyone else want to clear this up?
Hadn't considered that.
Famitsu officially releases Thursday's, but scans usually pop up days before. Not sure about Dengeki though.
Scans usually pop up when the magazine releases on Thursdays. Thursday midnight Japan = Wednesday 11:00 AM EDT.

Based on its price in Japan(around 13000 yen), I'm gonna guess around $120 personally.
The beach scene was the single bad part in an otherwise fantastic trailer.

I prefer trailers without barely clothed underage girls.

I'm guessing Anne is who set it up and is just drinking in her triumph. Shes the most obvious one to have set Sakura up like that anyway.

Due to how that scene is cut, I'm going to assume that the shocked reaction is Morgana related, seeing as they're not shown in that scene in the trailer.
Her pose as the towel is removed from Sakura's head does seem kind of like that. Though I took it more as just getting a kick out of the reveal and enjoying everyone else's reactions.
I'm just waiting for the obligatory hot spring scene.

Is she the first girl who isn't have a mental breakdown when the guys see them.
What are you doing when you go to the beach? Hiding beneath your towel whenever you see teenagers?
Hopefully he's not staring at the crotch of teenage girls, which is a moment the trailer focuses on.
I wouldnt surprised if he is called "Joker" all the time.
Actually those codenames is a clever way to avoid a canon name for now.

Day Breakers:
Yusuke seems to be in the party during the anime, so it must take place a reasonable way into the game, since it doesn't seem like he's an initial party member.
Believe it or not: I've been to an actual beach (you know, one with sand and water and stuff) before and I didn't feel offended when I saw minors running around in swimsuits.
I don't mind seeing a character in a swimsuit. However, I do mind sexualizing minors and that's what the scene does when it focuses on Ann's butt.

It looks like he's the second party member to join, with Morgana being first. I think I saw Anne in that clip too, so I guess she's third . Probably pretty early on, sometime after the first dungeon.

I don't know who the target audience for this in Japan is but I would assume its people close to Anne's age. That said, Atlus should be aware there are older players that are fans of this game- in fact, I think they are aware seeing as "High school is something everyone has gone through" is Hashino's reasoning for the characters' ages.
I'm aware of that, but that doesn't really excuse the scene. Atlus probably knows that this kind of stuff sells to the otaku audience and since otakus are usually reliable costumers, it makes sense to pander to them from a business perspective. I doubt that there are many scenes like that one in the game, but it's a trend that pops up in a lot of recent Atlus games and its starting to annoy me.
I'm also not sure how Western markets will react to scenes like this one. If P5 does indeed appear on Sony's stage during E3, they should probably refrain from repeating that scene or a similiar one.
